Period = 1/frequency.
Because the frequency is 261, 1/261 = the period :)

Herz is a measurement for how many cycles of the wave occur per second, which in this case is 261. the period is the time it takes to complete 1 cycle, so if 261 cycles occur per second, one cycle occurs every 1/261 seconds

Why does the density of a substance remain the same for different amount of the substance

tresset_1 [31]

Think of it this way:
-- Any time you have something that means (some number) PER UNIT,
it doesn't matter how many units there are on the table or in the bucket,
because that amount doesn't change the (number) PER UNIT.

-- If oranges cost $1 PER POUND, it doesn't matter how many pounds
you buy, the whole bagful is still $1 PER POUND.

-- If a certain salad dressing has 40 calories PER Tablespoon, it doesn't
matter whether you eat a drop of it or drink the whole jar. You still get
40 calories PER Tablespoon.

-- Density means '(mass) PER unit of volume'. Whether you have a tiny
chip of the substance or a whole truckload of it, there's still the same
amount of mass IN EACH unit of volume.

How can a mass be hot enough to flow but still act like a solid

Lunna [17]

The inner core is solid because it is made of very dense, or heavy, materials like iron and nickel. Even though it is very hot, these materials don't

I need it now aaaasssssaaaappp!!!!

A) Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave. The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency and the lower the pitch, the lower the frequency. Sound waves have different pitches due to varying frequency levels.

B) Sound is created as the pen vibrates. This vibrations also interacts with the air atoms and molecules, causing them to vibrate too, therefore, creating sound waves. The reason the brain grows annoyed at this continual sound is because the brain will focus on this sound only, causing the brain to go into overdrive, creating annoyance.

C) Sound waves are travelling vibrations of particles. Space does not have any atoms or particles for the sound vibrations to interact with, therefore creating zero sound waves to travel.

Hope this helps!! :))

If a 20 g cannonball is shot from a 5 kg cannon with a velocity of 100

balu736 [363]

Strange as it may seem, the statement in the question appears to be <em>TRUE</em>.

-- Before the shot, neither the cannon nor the ball is moving, so their combined momentum is zero.

-- Since momentum is conserved, we know immediately that their combined momentum AFTER the shot also has to be zero.

-- (20g is rather puny for a "cannonball" ... about the same weight as four nickels. But we'll take your word for it and just do the Math and the Physics.)

-- Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

After the shot, the momentum of the cannonball is

(0.02 kg) x (100 m/s ==> that way)

Momentum of the ball = 2 kg-m/s ==> that way.

-- In order for both of them to add up to zero, the momentum of the cannon must be (2 kg-m/s this way <==) .

Momentum of cannon = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

2 kg-m/s this way <== = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

Divide each side by (5 kg):

V m/s = (2/5) m/s this way <==

Speed of recoil of the cannon = <em>-- 0.4 m/s</em>
